Abstract for this talk:

Today, deploying applications in the clouds is essential for almost all companies.

However, increasing computing costs along with architecture complexity makes working with the cloud almost prohibitively expensive.

Not only that, the negative impact on the planet cannot be understated.

We will see how we reduced our cloud costs by ~80%, delivering more stable architecture, reducing maintenance burden and developer headaches.

Zig, golang and the audacity to write things ourselves has given us the possibility to be a positive influence on the planet, causing optimism for the way forward.
